so one moose in 30+ years is killed at FAR. yes it is a shame that our human activities and the perceived threat from the moose caused it to be killed.
to put it in a broader perspective, ungulates are killed every week on the highway between fernie, sparwood and elkford. i don’t see any of the posters on this thread advocating a 40km an hour speed limit to "save" those animals. if it was only one a week (some weeks i know it is more) over 30 years that’s more than 1500 animals killed. in that context of death to ungulates, the moose is a blip. less than one tenth of one percent. statistically insignificant.
to the moose, the death is not insignificant. it is final, and a shame.
two things to snowvalley. feeding hay to moose, elk and deer at this time of year causes them to founder (gas bloat) and die. painflully. their systems are not able to digest the hay. that’s a "fact" for you that you ought to know.
and if you want to know the food bank ("provide some facts"), with a handle like snow valley, you should know who to talk to so you can wander in as an impoverished, starving ski bum and scam some free moose meat. i’ll not be the one to help you pull that scam.
